How to Use Passive Buzzer with Arduino?

1.Introduction
 

In this project, we will learn the passive buzzer and use the Plus control board to control the passive buzzer to play a song. Unlike an active buzzer, a passive buzzer can emit sounds of different frequencies.
 

2.Components Required
 

KS0486-1

Keyestudio Plus Mainboard*1

Passive Buzzer*1

Breadboard*1

Jumper Wires

USB Cable*1


3. Component Knowledge
 

A passive buzzer is an integrated electronic buzzer with no internal vibration source. It must be driven by 2K to 5K square wave, not a DC signal. The two buzzers are very similar in appearance, but one buzzer with a green circuit board is a passive buzzer, while the other with black tape is an active buzzer. Passive buzzers cannot distinguish between positive polarity while active buzzers can.
